Hackers add DVD playback to the Wii

Engadget reports Wii hackers have managed to enable DVD playback support on the Nintendo Wii console:

By installing a small, hidden channel on a system, this package blesses the console with a libdi file (DVD access library), and allows you to watch your favorite videos with the MPlayer application, an open source media player. The install file will run on modded and unmodded systems, and the software is also capable of playing media from SD cards (though it's experimental right now).
